parents 10 this country in 1886, when but q
year old. BE attended the common schools
until the Inauguration of the rebellion, when
he enlisted as a private in Company B,
Forty-sixth o.. V. l.. he then being but
seventeen years Of age. He was at the front
in the hard-fought battles Of the Mississippi
campaign, and was under fire upon the fields
of Oxford, corinth, the taking Of vieksburg
and the sanguinary engagements Of Black
River and Jackson, Miss, at Lookout Noun
tain, Missionary Ridge, and on Shermann's
march to the sea. At Resecca, Ca, he was
shot clear through his body and badly
wounded. After the war he was connected
with the manufacturing establishment ofP.
Hayden & Son, Columbus, Ohio, for thirteen
years, when he was elected County Auditor.
In 1888 he was nominated for State Auditor
and polled the third largest vote of the ten
candidates on the ticket. His record as an
officer is unsurpassed by that Of any pre-
decessor. He has saved the State thousands
of dollars. Mr.. Kiesewetter is a Thirty
second-degree Mason, an 0dd-fellow of high
standing and member of the Order of
Knights of Pythias. He is very popular
throughout the State.
For State Treasurer, Geo. W. Harper was
nominated by acclamtion. He is wealthy
farmer Of Greene county, and a man of excel
lent character. He is a lifelong Democrat
of the old school, and very popular at home. |
He is sixty live years of age.
William 81. Leete, the nominee for Attor-
ney-General, is a young lawyer of Ottawa,
Putnam county. He is about thirty-fve
years old, and is a son of the Hon. Ralph
Leete, of Ironton. He inherits the we'll
known ability of his father, and has already
won distinction at the bar. His nomination
is great compliment, as it was entirely un-
sought.
Good old Butler county furnishes the can
didate for Member Of the Board of Public
Works in the person of old honest Peter Muir
phey. Mr.. Murphey has long been identified
with public affairs in Butler county, and has
served in the Legislature; on the State Gen.
trail Committee and on the Butler Board of
County Commissioners. Heisa great friend
of the canals, and therefore a good man for
the position. He should have an easy race
over "Arnica Flickenger.

~ Oh, no, our touchy friend of the Signal,
you can'tcrawl out of the hole you have at
tempted to enter. It's an old chestnut, re-
sorted to when an editor has been caught
and has found he has published something
he ought not to, to claim he was paid for
doing it! Our young friend when he is in
the business longer will learn all these things,
but we really feel for him while he is chool-
ing. Now, as for the kidnapping story, the
tramp came to our Office with it and tried
hard to get us interested. But it wouldn' t
work and he left for greener pastures and
struck them in the Signal Office. Acknow-
ledge the corn, Bro, and keep your weather
eye open after this.

/ ~ The time has come when govern
ment employee cannot express an honest
conviction without danger of loosing his po-
sition.-Bryan Press.
Certainly, no Republican with the least bit
of respect would care to hold position under
a Democratic administration, especially
when he is abusing said administration daily.
And vice versa. This is now Democratic
administration and every mothers son of a
Republican should have the decency to step
down and out, and should the Republicans
gain possession of the government then no
Democrat should remain. ITO the victors
belong the spoils."

EMichigan has new divorce law, with
some new features, which goes into operation
in September. Il provides that the prose
cutting attorney shall appear for the people
in every divorce case commenced in which
the complainant or defendant is the father
or mother Of any minor children. II is in
tended TO act as a sort Of brake to the head
long efforts of the various applicants for
divorce to secure their decree and to stop
many from securinga divorce at t~hl. The
prosecuting attorney must also be satisfied
that there has been no collusion between the
parties. Three out of five divorces are now
granted by pre-arranged agreement, no OBJ
lection being interposed.

Hot weather creates thirst and demand fol
some cooling beverage. The case of death
from ice-water reported from Fitchville,
Ohio, shows the danger from chilling the in
terror organs of the body with intensely cold
drinks, while the body is overheated. The
question Of proper and satisfying hot wealth.
er drinks for working men is one to be
carefully considered. Lemonade containing
ginger is used by many, but after all none is
more refreshing, strengthening and harm
less than the English harvest drink, pint
of raw oat meal thrown into bucket Of
water. The farmer who tries il will not care
to run the danger Of pure, cold water on an
over-heated stomach.

The Platform.

1t is pleasant to see the Democratic party
of Ohio facing the issues of the day as one
who is prepared to fight to the end for tha
which he believes in. The platform adopted
at Cleveland yesterday exhibits both convic
tions and the courage of them. And the con
victions are most happily right. Its 'hearty
and unequivocap Endorsement of Presiden
Cleveland's Administration was greeted with
applause so vocifsrous and prolonged that il
seemed, for time, as if business would never
be resumed. It might be added that they
nominated candidate quite acceptable tc
the Administration.
The tariff plank strikes from the shoulder
as never before. The party has come to its
senses, and is fighting now on live issue.
A judicious reduction of the tariff, SO as to
bring the revenue down to that which is ab-
solutely needed for Government economic
ally administered, isdemanded. Reduction
of the Internal Revenue is conceded, if nec-
essary to keep surplus revenue from pouring
into the Treasury, but the line is drawn upon
whisky. "You shall not take the tax of of
whisky" says the Democracy of Ohio to the
Republican party, in order to keep up your
atrocious tariff robbery" That is doctrine
which will ring round the land. It is a glo-
rious utterance-the best and the bravest that
the Democrats have yet attained to.
The land and the labor questions are well
handled Ireland gets graceful reconition,
the Union soldiers and sailors are encouraged
with the proposition of liberal pensions, and
the iniquity Of ofattempting to run city gov
ernments from Columbus is most properly
denounced. Canada did not get in the plat
form, but Judge Seney, President of the con-
vention, made arecord for himself which will
not be forgotten by demonstrating in his
opening address, that the United States must
inevitably absorb the Dominion. The mis-
cradle partisanship and gross extravaganza
of the Republican Administration of State
affairs met with scoring that they SO well
deserve.
Altogether, it is one of the best pieces of
platform work ever accomplished in Ohio,
and in respect of the tariff plank it is the best
piece of work ahat has yet been done in the
whole country.-Enquirer.

"a There is now stored inthe Treasury
vaults, according to the last Treasury state
ment, $277, S,75O in gold, larger stock
than the Government has ever held before at
any one time. During the last year, notwith-
standing the outlay of $1200O0OOO in gold
for the redemption of bonds, the gold reserve
has increased $9O,OOO,O 600. 1t is worth while
to note that this has happened in the face of
Republican predictions that a Democratic
administration would ruin the country and
assertions of the monometalists that the con-
tinued coinage Of silver would drive gold out
of the country. s8bt.

ner, living near Wapakoneta, last week, and
bareained for his sixty acre farm, paying
81, 600 therefor. In payment they rendered
a check on a Columbus bank for $4,000. The
old farmer was greatly pleased with the bar
gain, procured 1920 and paid the difference
between the price Of the farm and the check.
and then all hands went their ways. The
check, when presented, was pronounced
worthless, and the old farmer now mourns
for his $l,2C0.
